Aside from the 16-hour direct flight from JFK to Hong Kong, Cathay Pacific also flies this route with a stop in Vancouver (YVR). It�s one of the great ways of experiencing a true long-haul product, not to mention one of the world�s best carriers, when needing to get from coast to coast (a similar option is flying Qantas JFK-LAX, on its way to and from Sydney). Even better, we only paid about $50 and 37,500 British Airways miles for our ticket, snagging a reward seat. Who said first class flying had to be expensive?
What We Liked
· We�ve got to start with the seat. Excuse us, the suite. It�s enormous. The combination of the seat and the service almost made us feel a little like we were in the wrong place; surely we were not important enough to have all this? There was practically room for someone to sit next us, and the suite stretches 3-4 windows in length
· Next up, the bed. We�ve never been able to stretch out the way we did here, and we�re 6�4�. Combined with a proper pillow and a soft duvet, made up by the attentive cabin crew, it�s the most comfortable we�ve ever been on a plane.
· Privacy. We had suite 1A, and 2A was empty. There are only six suites in total on the Boeing 777, with the divider between rows A and D, making the A-suites the most private; when seated you feel like you�re the only one on the plane
· Each passenger in first class gets a Cathay special edition Shanghai Tang sleeper suit, with your clothes stored in your personal wardrobe when it�s time to get some rest. The pants of the sleeper suit make for perfect lounge wear at home; in fact, we confess to wearing them as we type this.
· Amenity kits for men come in the shape of an Ermenegildo Zegna travel bag filled with Acca Kappa products. For women it�s an Ipa-Nima travel pouch with Aesop products. While the washrooms aren�t the size of what you'd have in first class on the Airbus A380, we found them plenty spacious, with a proper designer sink, towels, and fresh flowers.
· Service. Service, service, service. This is what Cathay Pacific is justifiably famous for; from the handwritten note at dinner thanking you for flying with Cathay, to the wines poured at your table, the crew does a pretty fantastic job of being attentive without being obtrusive.
· At dinner time, a massive table is laid out with white linen and proper silverware. Each course is plated and served separately, and we opted for a butternut squash and apple soup that was the lightest, tastiest thing we had had in a long time, let alone on an airplane. It was so good we ate it up before even thinking to take a picture of it.
· Priority boarding and disembarking. While it wouldn�t seem so difficult, airlines sometimes still fail to get this right. As we walked up to the gate, our boarding pass was recognized and we were immediately waved through. When stepping onto the plane, we were escorted to our seat and shown around. Our plane also sported Cathay�s new business class. We requested a tour and a member of the cabin crew happily obliged, showing us around the new seats.
What We Didn�t Like
· First and Business Class ticket holders on Cathay and eligible OneWorld frequent fliers have access to the BA Galleries lounges at JFK. We were disappointed with Galleries First; it�s an oddly shaped room, which isn�t helped by the incredibly awkward furniture arrangements. It somehow combined no logical traffic flows with limited comfortable seating either for single travelers or groups. We don�t know if it�s always like this, but we had to keep ourselves from starting to schlep furniture around to make a better arrangement.
· Despite the potential astronomical cost of a first class ticket, if you are not on BA metal, you won�t have access to the Elemis Spa in the lounge. Surely something can be done there?
· Flight times are not ideal for doing just the JFK-YVR leg. CX889 departed JFK at 22.40, landing in Vancouver at 1.30am local time. Ouch. Not a complaint for us since we were virtually flying for free, but as a paying first class customer, we�d be less convinced.
Bottom Line
There really is only one answer to the question, would we fly Cathay Pacific First Class again? That answer: in a heartbeat. The worst part about the journey was that it was over so quickly; we would have loved staying on board all the way to Hong Kong. Now that the days of relatively cheap BA redemptions from JFK to Hong Kong in Cathay First are over, we�ll just have to save and save and save those miles to get to the 105,000 needed for that 16-hour flight all the way across the world.

The procedure of arthroscopically removing internal knee joint scar is often long and tedious. Sometimes the joint is packed so thickly with scar tissue that removing it is akin to a slow, meticulous archeological excavation process. The normal internal joint anatomy must be carefully exposed, millimeter by millimeter, as the scar tissue is gradually cut away and removed. All of the internal joint spaces that are normally present should be opened up and restored in this fashion prior to attempting knee manipulation (see FIGURES 1a, 1b, 1c). The lateral retinaculum (capsular envelope ligament just to the outer side of the kneecap) is often especially contracted and tight, and usually must be surgically released (divided) at the same time.
FIGURE 1c - Arthroscopic view of the same patient's medial joint compartment at the conclusion of the case. The normal, internal joint space has been restored and the medial femoral condyle has been completely released from its enveloping scar tissue cocoon. Similar work has also been done in other knee compartments, in combination with a retinacular release. At this point, the knee is tested to see what free range of motion it has, and if necessary, joint manipulation and stretching are performed to restore the range of motion to normal. With almost all of the internal scar tissue that was formerly restricting the joint removed, the joint manipulation procedure will require significantly less applied force to regain the same range of motion, thus reducing the chance of an inadvertent femoral or tibial fracture.
In severe cases where the posterior (rear) capsule of the knee is also tightly contracted, thus restricting full knee extension (straightening) despite attempted knee manipulation, an open (non-arthroscopic) posterior capsular surgical release may be required. A technique using a small lateral knee incision may be utilized to minimize surgical dissection trauma directly behind the knee as well as skin scarring.

The ever-popular Hampi Bazaar
Trip Start
Nov 02, 2009
Trip End
Mar 02, 2010
Although the sightseeing is good, the bad weather dampens our enthusiasm for the place. On our first day the weather is cloudy and gloomy, such that we do not fancy sightseeing. We decide to stay an additional day, hoping tomorrow will bring better weather. We mill about town instead. Luckily the clouds break up in mid-afternoon after a big downpour and we are able to visit Anegundi, a good introduction to the architecture and history of the area, with its handful of temples
The next day, the weather gives us the same scenario – cloudy to start followed by blue skies after noon. We thus see the rest of the sights, namely the Royal Centre to the south of Hampi, the Vittala temple, reached by a pleasant walk along the river, and finally the Sacred Centre at the heart of Hampi. The most inspiring of these three sites is probably the Royal Centre as it covers such a large area and thus gives a good impression of what the town was once like and how its inhabitants may have lived.
The other downside to staying in Hampi aside from the poor weather is how touristy it is. In some ways it is nice to get away from India for a few days (see my previous entry), but neither of us are fans of the artificial feel that comes with touristy places. Nothing feels genuine, particularly not the food. We find it to be unoriginal, identical in all restaurants, westernised and overpriced. That is not to say that we do not eat well. As there are few tourists when we are there, all the food is cooked from scratch, therefore tastes lovely and fresh. Unfortunately that also means that we have to wait between 40 minutes to an hour for our food to be served. We are simply disappointed that by trying to cater for western tastes, the restaurants have forgotten to keep it simple and authentic.

May 19th, 2012
Random thought. I have a few friends that say that it is better to eat after a good work out because your replenishing your body with nutrients. Then I have a few friends that say its better to eat before so you burn off the fat you just ate and you have energy to work out.
What is your opinion? Before or after?

It really depends on the dog and it's genetic nerve strength. Some dogs grow up in a kennel, coming out only to work and are very social and stable, some dogs are heavily socialized as puppies and are fearful.

What do you think socialization is? That is a serious question. People have different ideas of it.
As gsdsar says, it depends on the dog. I got my puppy right before it got so cold and miserable so he missed the ideal socialization time. However, he has very good nerve so anything he is suspicious of he checks out and recovers quickly. With your puppy, I would say get a trainer and work on behavior modification. Learn the tools. LAT, BAT. Socialization is not having your puppy meet a ton of people and dogs. It's exposing him to many new things and helping him work through his fear.

So would he most likely be aggressive when he's an adult? The breeder I got him from had two young kids and they had even already named the pups and would play with them and all, but the dad is a police dog but they said the mom was more social... So that's why I'm worried about that considering the dad being a police dog. But I wouldn't think that'd have anything to do with genetics since they're trained to be .

If the dog is of good nerve with balance in the drives and temperament the aggression will only come out when necessary. That does come from genetics, not so much the training or socializing the dog has had.
If your puppy is fearful and shows reactive aggression that is fear based, it is genetic. |

Two red flags are the use of "social but protective" and "police dog" (rarely true, just a sales pitch....). Be prepared for anything and everything. I have a genetically weak-nerved dog, and looking back I could have made everything a lot easier if I knew what I was dealing with from the start. Usually with dogs like mine, flooding them with all sorts of new experiences without knowing how to manage it is going to make the problem worse, not better. I definitely agree with learning about LAT/BAT.

Chi White Sox vs. Toronto, 04/18/2013 19:07 Money Line: -119 Toronto The Chicago White Sox are struggling on the road this season sitting on a 3-6 record. They average just 3.4 runs per game with a .248 batting average and .282 on base percentage. The White Sox have not only struggled on the road, but they are also struggling against right handed starters. They had had a dramatic drop in production from their already abysmal numbers in the 12 games they have faced a righty starter. Today they will go up against R.A. Dickey who is 12-2 in his career against when playing against an American League team with an on base percentage .320 or worse. Dickey is coming off a confidence boosting win over the Royals giving up just 1 earned run in 6.3 innings. For Chicago Chris Sale will take the mound. Sale coming off an embarrassing loss to Cleveland where he went just 4.3 innings and gave up 8 earned runs. To see more of Jimmy Boyd's plays click here.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and I'm always on the lookout for a unique mashed potato recipe. When I was at the local farm stand I saw a bunch of sage and couldn't resist. I'd never cooked with before and wasn't quite sure what to do with sage, but it smells amazing and I remembered it's often used in butter. I thought I'd take that one step further and make sage brown butter to mix into mashed potatoes. These are easy mashed potatoes and I will definitely be making them often.
Sage is a perennial plant, which means it lives for more than two years. Sounds like I'll have better luck with my windowsill herb garden if I plant some sage! It has a kind of pepper flavory, and the texture is so fun. It's got soft furry leaves with an almost leathery feel to it. I chopped one leaf up small to leave in the brown butter, the other leaves I let cook in the butter to flavor it but then removed. If you can't find fresh sage, I think dried could work. I plan to dry the remaining leaves myself and grind them to use in future dishes.
I made these potatoes as part of a vegetarian night dinner, they're rich and hearty with a lots of texture because I leave the skin on the potatoes. I also use waxy potatoes rather than baking because I like lumpy mashed potatoes. If you want smooth and fluffy mashed potatoes, peel them and use baking potatoes. I'd use them as a side dish for pretty much anything, but I think they'll work especially well as a Thanksgiving side. The recipe below served two of us as the main dish of our vegetarian meal, but I think would serve 3-4 as a side dish. You can easily multiply it to create a family sized side for your holiday meal.
Sage Brown Butter Mashed Potatoes
serves 3-4 as sideIngredients
2 very large thin skinned potatoes
1/2 tsp kosher salt
3 TBS butter
4 sage leaves
3 TBS milk or cream
2 TBS sour cream
salt and pepper to taste
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cut potatoes into 1 inch chunks and add to potatoes and kosher salt. Boil for 10-15 minutes or until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
Meanwhile, melt butter in a small sauce pan. Chop 1 sage leaf into small pieces and add it and remaining leaves to the butter. Cook it on med high until the butter just starts to turn brown. Remove from heat immediately.
Drain potatoes and return them to the large pot. Remove large leaves from brown butter and pour the butter into the potatoes. Add the milk/cream and sour cream then mash with a potato masher or large spoon. Add salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with sage leaves.
Approximate cost/serving: Mashed potatoes are CHEAP! We get our potatoes from our CSA, but even in the store this is such an affordable dish. It only costs $1.60 to make 4 servings, so 40 cents a serving.
Vegetarian/Gluten Free: Yes and yes.

It's been a banner month for atonement. Giants quarterback Kerry Collins expressed regret yet again for his alcohol problem, and the Big Creep himself copped a plea. As for Jackson, he's no stranger to contrition, having spent more time than the pope apologizing to Jewswith less reason. As a practiced penitent, Jackson had no trouble advising Bill Clinton that the best way to put his sins behind him was to tender an apology. By stiffing the public, Clinton added immeasurably to his problems, but once he begged forgiveness his popularity soared. Like countless politicians, celebrities, and champions who have paraded their penance before the cameras, Clinton learned to play his part in the great American repentance rite.
In this land of milk and media, the fall from grace has become a genre. Call it the sit-sin. In the first segment, you do the dirty deed. Then, after the commercials, you get caught. But just before the credits roll, you offer it up to some higher power. If you keep a humble mien, chances are very good that you'll be back next week.
Of course, some sins are beyond repair. Jimmy Swaggart never benefited from his confession, but one suspects that the excessiveness of his apology had something to do with it. Downcast eyes are one thing, a flood of tears quite another; the idea is to provide a spectacle of humiliation, not a discomforting display of pain. You could argue that the Kennedys' crimes are too heinous to qualify for forgiveness, but it's also true that liberals have more trouble transcending their transgressions than conservatives do. Scandals are a major weapon of the right, yet these same folks tend to forgive their own. Witness the easy ride Newt Gingrich, Bob Barr, Henry Hyde, and Helen Chenoweth (to mention just a few Republican adulterers) have had. Deposed House speaker Bob Livingston is doing quite nicely as a lobbyist. And Representative Dan Burton, who sired a love child, got reelected.
As for celebrities, we're willing to forgive an errant blowjob if it makes for a good punch line. Hugh Grant repented on no fewer than five TV shows, regaling his audience with double entendres. (George Michael never got to joke about his toilet bust, but then, there's nothing funny about a man who would rather give than receive in oral sex.) Pee-Wee Herman lost his gig as a kiddie icon after wanking at the movies, but he went on to appear in more than a dozen films. The oft indicted Robert Downey Jr. won a Golden Globe award. And athletes can get away with pretty much anything as long as they apologizethough they might have to sacrifice a sneaker endorsement along the way. Even Marv Albert has returned, proving that no sin short of bad hair is too mortal for a comeback.
When a 17th-century diplomat, the Duc de la Rochefoucauld, called hypocrisy "the homage vice pays to virtue," he never imagined the current American spin. We've learned to use repentance as an instrument of freedom. It's not just the (ultimately sadistic) pleasure of the apology that we savor; it's the good news that we can sin and still maintain our virtue. In a culture where virginity is regained at the signing of a pledge to screw no more, penance allows us to do as we please in the near certainty that, by making amends for our trespasses, we can keep the hymen of respectability intact.
Churches once had repentance stools for sinners to sit on, and the custom we inherited from the Scots was for penitents to appear barefoot in a white smock, carrying a white wand. But as America becomes the land of second chances, the white wand has been desubstantiated into a shot at 15 minutes of rue. These days, the sinner simply enters the studio at a propitious moment in the news cycle, repents, and is reborn.
As a mediator of morality, this ritual is perfect. It preserves the ideal while allowing for considerable departure. You can have your cakeor cokeand repent of it, too. Nothing suits this synthesis of hedonism and hypocrisy like adultery, an act practiced by between 25 and 50 percent of married American men (depending on whether you believe Kinsey or more recent surveys) and half as many married women. Yet 80 percent of us believe adultery is wrong. One way to make this disjunction disappear is to create a system that allows for infidelity as long as it's processed. It's only when an adulterer defends that choiceor denies any guilt despite proof to the contrarythat the fragile foundation of this edifice begins to crumble. And God help the Republic when the unrepentant bounder is the president.

Load for 230g FMJ .45ACP with Bullseye?
Hi guys. On a whim I bought a pound of Bullseye for the first time yesterday. I'm planning on using either 230g FMJs or 230g hard lead. These will be shot from a Glock 21 and S&W 1911 respectively. I'm looking for accuracy only. Velocity and big BANGS! are not important.
Any pet loads out there for this bullet/powder combination? Thanks!

Numerous loads on line. 4.4 gr Bullseye with the 230 FMJ hardball cycles mine.
Good accuracy. Moderate recoil. See the links for guidance purposes. I shoot mostly lead that I cast myself. 4.0 Gr Bullseye for 200gr SWC and 230 Round nose. http://www.reloadammo.com/ http://recipes.alliantpowder.com/rg....evolver&step=1 Ripsaw |

These were two that worked well for me in a Sig P220. The first is 10 shots @ 50 ft with a 230 hardball load of 5.0 of bullseye. The second is 10 shots @ 50 ft with a 230 LRN with 4.5 of bullseye. The second target also has a lot of 22 holes Both were off hand targets.

I use 4.5gr of bullseye with both 230gr RN and JHP in a 5" kimber (with 1.2" OAL). Never had any cycling, ejecting problems and this weekend I was shooting 2" groups at 35 feet offhand, which is my best so far.

An old Bullseye load is with 4.6 grs of B/E under a lead 230 gr. R/N. I used to shoot 4.5 grs until I tried 4.6 grs. I watched the group shrink. My Springer 1911 loves these loads. My Caspian custom 1911 with a Kart barrel does not as it leads up pretty bad quickly. The Caspian though will out shoot anything in the brace with FMJ's.

I went to the range this morning before work and shot some that I loaded up last night. In the Glock 21, 5.1g took the cake with 230g FMJ. In my S&W 1911, 4.3g turned in the best groups using 230g LRN. I like this powder. It's now a toss-up for me as to what I prefer for .45ACP, Bullseye or W231. Well, since I just bought another 4lb keg of W231, I guess I'll use that up first.

Which powder ??
Its pretty hard to make a case for one against the other, Bullseye or WW231. WW231 is a reliable performer. I used to try loads that others said were good. I ended up with a large powder assortment and no miracle combination. Over the years as it all was shot up I never replaced it. Just sticking with Bullseye which meters consistantly and is accurate. A buddy and I split 2 four pounders last year. I shoot Bullseye because it works well for ME. I also use it for .38 wadcutters. You saw the targets by 629 shooter. Its the practice he does as well as the powder. Load with Bullseye, get out there and practice, yours will look the same Ripsaw |

"Dirk Hayhurst has done it again. . .Turns out he's a starter and a closer."
—Tim Kurkjian, ESPN
As a major and not-so-major league pitcher, Dirk Hayhurst has learned to master more than striking out batters. While waiting for his name to be called in the bullpen, he honed his gifts as a storyteller, one the New York Times calls the "best writer in a baseball uniform." In this often hilarious collection of adventures on and off the diamond, Dirk details the intricacies… (più)

Predicting successful outcomes in living-donor liver transplants
A new study on identifying which patients were likely to have poor outcomes following a living-donor liver transplant (LDLT) found that measuring how a certain non-toxic dye was eliminated by the liver shortly after surgery was an accurate indicator of liver function, and therefore a reliable indicator of the outcome of the procedure. The study used a simple non-invasive device to measure the dye, making it particularly useful in treating transplant patients.The results of this study appear in the April 2006 issue of Liver Transplantation, the official journal of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) and the International Liver Transplantation Society (ILTS). The journal is published on behalf of the societies by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. and is available online via Wiley InterScience at http://www.interscience.wiley.com/journal/livertransplantation.
Monitoring liver function following LDLT is crucial and identifying poor function as early as possible would be a step in the right direction toward achieving better outcomes. Since tests traditionally used to measure liver function are not always conclusive, researchers led by Tomohide Hori of Mie University in Tsu City, Japan analyzed how indocyanine green (ICG), a non-toxic dye, was processed by the liver, assessed a non-invasive method of measuring its levels, and determined whether such a test would be a reliable indicator of outcome.
The study involved 30 adult recipients who underwent LDLT between June 2003 and February 2005 at Mie University Hospital. The patients were divided into two groups based on liver function and outcome following the transplant (as measured by traditional methods such as bilirubin concentration). Group I consisted of 24 recipients who had good clinical outcomes while group II consisted of 6 recipients who needed intensive clinical management and had poor clinical outcomes. ICG was injected into the patients and its disappearance was monitored by a non-invasive photometric device. This was done for the first 14 days following transplant (including every 12 hours in the first 72 hours) and again at 21 and 28 days following surgery.
The results showed that immediately following transplant, elimination of ICG improved for all patients in the study when compared to pre-operative tests, but within 24 hours ICG elimination was significantly better in Group I than in Group II. The test correlated well with more traditional methods of measuring liver function, specifically liver biopsies that were performed in 17 of the patients and liver scintigraphy (an imaging technique using a radioactive substance that is swallowed) performed on 18 patients. The ICG test however, had certain benefits. "This novel noninvasive method has advantages in its simplicity, its real-time presentation of results without consuming a lot of time, and its cost-effectiveness," the researchers note. They conclude that being able to predict poor outcomes based on ICG elimination immediately following liver transplants should have a large impact on further improving LDLT outcomes, since appropriate clinical management can then be instituted if necessary.
In another study in the same issue, researchers led by Christoph Jochum, M.D. of the University Duisberg-Essen in Essen, Germany investigated ICG elimination, galactose elimination capacity (GEC), and lidocaine elimination as markers for the quality of liver regeneration in 22 donors and their recipients in the first 3 months following LDLT. They found that ICG elimination and GEC remained significantly altered in donors and improved significantly in recipients during that period, while lidocaine elimination showed no significant changes. "In this study we evaluated only a small group of patients, however the results indicate a longer and more profound change in the quality of the liver of donors and recipients after LDLT than conventional liver function tests indicate," the authors conclude.
In an accompanying editorial, J�rg Reichen, M.D., of the University Hospital, University of Berne in Switzerland notes that ICG clearance as measured in the first study can predict poor outcomes and might be useful for LDLT recipients, while the second study points out that liver regeneration might not be complete for donors, even though the liver achieves its full size within four weeks of transplant. "Whether the about 10 percent loss of function compared to preoperative values will translate into clinically relevant impairment of liver function � in particular with respect to drug metabolism as suggested by the authors � has yet to be determined," he states. He also notes that the multiple blood sampling used by the second study is quite labor intensive when compared to the device used in the first study, which is more apt to make its way into clinical practice. He concludes: "Before clinical decisions are based upon any of these tests, however, confirmation of the findings in larger patient populations in prospective studies are needed."

Dita Von Teese Star Life for Von FolliesTop 10 Sexy Lingerie
Who better to dream up sexy intimates than America's reigning queen of burlesque? Dita Von Teese's new Star Life collection for Von Follies is — just like her persona — all sexy, vintage Hollywood glamour. She was inspired by her very own closet and long love for boudoir-ready unmentionables. Dita, today a designer muse and international femme fatale, worked in a lingerie store in her teens and early twenties. Her sumptuous and satin-y pieces include cleavage-enhancing, 1950s-style balconette bras (think Marilyn) and old-school, high-waisted briefs; but while they are retro looks, their fit is not. The line was designed with utter comfort in mind. Thanks to this brand new collaboration with Bloomingdale's, her provocative pieces are now available stateside at select stores.

I like this marinade. I have actually used it to marinate meat for stir-fry, not just yakitori. I didn't have sake, so I used white wine instead and it still turned out good. I will definately make again.
Fantastic! We used this to marinate chicken for 45 minutes and then grilled it. Had a great slightly-sweet flavor to it. Will definitely use again!
This was very yummy!

Home Made CAFS unit
Has Any one ever built there own home made CAFS unit. One of our fire firefighters has be pondering the idea. His idea is to get a class A foam portioner and and a used air compressor and of course the right plumbing and gauges. As we talked it over it seemed kinda simple to make and would cost ALOT less then buying a new one. I was just wondering if anyone had built one or had any ideas on how to build one. Thanks.

"Kinda Simple" maybe going out on a limb. If you are using it for structural attack you will need 40 CFM for each 1-1/2,1-3/4" line. So if you want to use more than one line it will require a rotary compressor. How will you drive it? Rotary compressors require oil sumps, oil seperation systems and cooling. Your discharge pressure and your air pressure should be balanced. You will need a system to balance the pressure. The trick is making a workable AND easy to use system. Good Luck. Keep us informed.

Naval traditions and culture encompass a wide range of activities, events, and objects, often unique to naval service. Some, like the ?crossing the line? (meaning, the equator) ceremony, are old and well-established, while others, such as gun shield art, related directly to Second World War experiences. Many reflect companionship, commemoration, recreation, or esprit de corps.
The bosun's (or boatswain's) call, also called a whistle, has traditionally been used to signal and command sailors.
By varying the force used to blow into the call, and by using fingers to control the amount of air escaping from the top of the spherical "buoy" (left), different notes can be sounded. Various combinations of notes can be used to issue different commands.
